Pheasant Feather Hair Clips

Here is another of the pheasant feather hair clips that i have been creating. I used blue peacock feathers as an under color. I added freshwater pearls and jade along with a larger piece of a lapis and malachite  bead . I am wearing it today..makes me feel "girlish" at my age :)

My first rug.....

My first locker hooked rug is coming along nicely ...very time intensive but i enjoy it and the finished rug will be so thick and warm.

Stamps in altered art jewelry


I will try to get a better pic of these later today. I used a vintage foreign stamp for these 2 pieces . Both are very bright and colorful designs . They will look good with a solid color dark shirt.
I am finally getting down to the stash of odds n ends of things i have saved over the last year or two that i thought would be interesting turned into jewelry.
